Steve and Anthony talk about virtues and vices of montages. Alicent’s turn, Daemon’s vision, and the glory that is Simon Strong’s eyeball work. We debate: was this really a season finale? Steve argues in the affirmative.
Should the Corlys progeny connection be more obvious? Also, why is Oscar Tully’s take down of Daemon so delightful? Steve and Anthony discuss the Red Sowing.
Excellent dragon work, development of themes, musical choices. The Small Folk rates Properly Dinklage (although we forgot to mention that during the recording).
This episode contains Anthony’s favorite scene in House of the Dragon. Also: does Jace have a punchable face?
After a harrowing encounter with Blood and Cheese, comedian Steve Ausburne is amped up for season 2. Anthony and Steve both love Rhaenys and are hopeful for a few lesser plotlines like Alyn and Aegon’s hapless goons. Follow Steve on instagram: @ausfest
Steve and Anthony discuss (in brief) the new kingsguard, Hightower snobbery, and Rhaenys’s overall virtue. Then we review the film Berry Gordy’s The Last Dragon.
Steve and Anthony reair our coverage of the last two episodes of season one.
Adult Aemond is a truly excellent addition to the cast. King Viserys continues to be one of the most compelling characters in the show. The fuse has been lit for civil war.
Anthony’s favorite episode also happens to be the one wherein Rhaenyra has a dude murdered.
Steve and Anthony discuss the new actors portraying Rhaenyra and Alicent. Also, Aegon’s hobby is a matter of public record.
